“As always, there was an all-American war hero look to him, coded in his tousled brown hair, his summer-narrowed hazel eyes, the straight nose that ancient Anglo-Saxons had graciously passed on to him. Everything about him suggested valor and power and a firm handshake.”

i don’t remember who fancasted Austin McKenzie as Gansey but i’m actually mad that it didn’t occur to me beforelike

look at him he’s perfect

and he already played a pretentious dude on the broadway revival of spring awakening (yes, frkn BROADWAY)

look at him, all distressed in his lil uniform

did i mention how amazingly talented he is? he’s such a great actor and singer. You can watch him as young Cleve Jones in miniseries When We Rise, he’s spr good! And you can watch the version he was in of Spring Awakening, is in youtube somewhere, or message me and i’ll send you a link

He’s by far my favorite Gansey fancast and god bles the one who came up with this first
